A home shrine photographed as a daily paduka puja. A large printed poster on a dark background shows a bare-chested man with long swept-back hair, white tilak, rudraksha and gold-bead garlands across his chest and waist, red dhoti, holding a white ceremonial staff topped with a drum and a raised hand in blessing. Printed portraits are not physical people. The poster is a printed depiction, so the candidate is shown in print, not present. Before it stands a bronze deity murti with a trident, decorated with yellow and blue flowers and white jasmine. A small bronze figure, a lit oil lamp in a copper dish, a green bowl of rice with flowers, red kumkum in small cups and a red-and-gold garland with rudraksha stand on a leopard-print cloth. A partially visible framed picture and a book titled Living Enlightenment appear at the right edge.
